David Gregory: Trump Foreign Policy a 'Disaster'
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/14/2017 5:34:50 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Discussing the overnight resignation of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, CNN's David Gregory managed this morning to work in a broad swipe at the president. Gregory claimed that "the fledgling foreign policy in the Trump administration [has] been a disaster."

Really? Gregory ignored: the widely-praised, weekend-long meetings that Trump just concluded with Japanese PM Abe; Trump's positive conversation with Chinese Premier Xi and the confirmation of the One China policy; the re-establishment of the special relationship with the UK and its PM May, and of course the healing of ties with Israel after years of Obama animosity culminating in his perpetration of an anti-Israel Security Council resolution.

David Gregory has had zero credibility for over a decade.


I confess that I don’t even know who he is (though his name sounds familiar), but for him to make such a statement at this time proves your statement about him.

How does Dick Gregory know all this? The Trump Administration has only been in office still less than a month, and are not even up to full strength yet, because of foot-dragging by the US Senate Democrats.

Kicking and screaming while being dragged backwards is no way to hold high influence.

In any venue.

He’s getting Trump’s foreign policy confused with his own career.

Another fake news reader heard from. What had Obama accomplished in the first THREE WEEKS of his first term? And he had all his Cabinet in place, unlike Pres. Trump who has been blocked by Democrats in having his picks approved.

This sort of stuff is blasted at ordinary people in waiting rooms and other public places. It’s “news” to them. The great challenge for Trump is going to be combating the bombardment of propaganda to reach low-information voters.

Doesn’t big media operate at the pleasure of the FCC? Why can’t their license get pulled and given to a real news outlet?

There are plenty that most of us watch on the Internet that would qualify as legitimate and honest news.

Sedition should not be tolerated. Especially now.

“If he’d stuck it out, they’d still be bashing him, but nothing stays in the press more than a few weeks and all this would be forgotten by Spring.”

Agree.

"You want foreign policy disaster, David? Look at Obama’s record."

Take a closer look at the firestorm belonging to Obama, Hillary, and Kerry that was once the mid-east...Obama encouraging protests from his lair in DC? Still hiding behind the MSM? Obama looked the other way in this for years...(Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal)...Obama had to agree to the Uranium Deal AKA Uraniumgate! Obama is still trying to stop USA greatness.

The overt resistance of the MSM is much better and more easily assessed than a more subtle version meant to pass as journalism. The entertainment industry, the eco-climate industry, the protest industry, the corporate elite, the MSM, the DNC, et. al. haven’t figured out YET that the USA isn’t going to kiss that ugly face they have unmasked; they are still liking their chances at last call for alcohol. I love it.

Trump can do no right in the eyes of the liberal media. This will be the nature of things for a long time.

It was the same with RWR.

Everything he did made the MSM throw up their hands and roll their eyes.

Every time he challenged the USSR, the Democrats and MSM said he was undercutting the "moderates" in the USSR and strengthening the "hardliners."

Every time he strengthened our forces around the world, the fake-news MSM said he was moving the world closer to a nuclear Armageddon.

There were several made-for-TV movies about it, one was called "The Day After," and was played on the ABC Television Network on 20 November 1983, after much discussion. Carl Sagan and his "TTAPS" group was all over television, talking about "nuclear winter" and the end of the world if we resisted in any way the Soviet Union.

During his first term, Reagan declined to "work with the USSR." Instead, he worked with the Pentagon and contractors to build up our war-fighting capability after it had been allowed to fall apart after Vietnam.

The Democrats reached out to communist governments all over the world. Teddy Kennedy reached out covertly to the USSR, asking them to help him undermine Reagan. Other Congressional democrats reached out to Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega, along with various Hollywood movie stars.

All of this nastiness and sedition was ignored by Reagan. He, and his cabinet, just ignored it. The Union of Concerned Scientists kept moving the Doomsday Clock closer to midnight, and the fake-news MSM covered it every time.

The German anti-nuclear song "99 Red Balloons" was made into a hit record here, even though it was a crappy song compared to the others on the radio at the time.

The fake-news MSM Democrats did a full-court press on everything Reagan did, including foreign policy. Of course, a media "full court press" back then wasn't like today, because there was no World Wide Web, no hand-held texting devices, no YouTube, no Facebook, etc.

Events soon overcame them, starting with KAL 007.

I am hand-wringing this morning. Regardless of the MSM credibility issue, there is an organized coup in this country, not just to deligitimitize him but to actually remove him from office. Now we are starting to hear that Trump is mentally ill, twice yesterday in interviews, one of them being Al Franken, a sitting Senator.

It has been a disaster for the Globalists and Transnational Progressives.
Which is a feature, not a bug.

Wow, now the lamestream media is plagiarizing Trump with the use of the word, “disaster.”

Real original there, Gregory.

Yes, these are the same nuts that swooned over Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize within weeks of being elected.
